Me and Depression, have been ****** for years.
I've wiped away many tears, and even a few fears.
Been with self consciousness too so I avoid mirrors.
And lately flirting with anxiety so I avoid my peers.

Empty bottles, empty promises
Empty words, empty paper
How long does a friendship last?
A shirt is just a shirt
A shell is a burden
How long does love last?
I use to think forever and a day
But forever is just a moment
How many times have I tried?
Over and over
And over again
A bottle full of letters
Filled with broken promises
Words that once had meaning
Now empty and meaningless
That shirt that I bought for you
You can take it, have it
That love that I once shared with you
You can sell it trade it
Will I ever try again
Maybe but with a new bottle
Empty bottles, empty promises
Empty words, empty paper

Lifetimes aren't that long
Sometimes they truly aren't though
Sometimes they end too early
Sometimes they go before you know
But one thing you must know
Before you go
Is life goes to and fro
Enjoy the waves
Enjoy the boat ride...ya know?

What is Love?
Is it a strong like? Sometimes that's all it feels like.
Or a weird hate? Based on the burning and aggravation when small things go wrong
Is it a sneaky lust? Because you know what I really want right?
Can it even be trusted? Many people say it one day and nothing the next.
Maybe its just a word, a word for manipulation.
The truth about it is Love is what you make it. Nobody can make it for you...but that's just what I think

My skin is black.
But my black friends say I'm white
My white friends call me their black friend
My Spanish friends just don't know
My Asian friends think I'm smart.
But would take me more serious if I was white or Asian.
My boss doesn't see my potential
Society sees me as a statistic
The government sees me as a number.....
Why can't I just be a human?

Its so hard to keep good people in your life.

The ones you care for, you want, you'll do anything for are the 1st to leave with no explanation.

Although the fight for months on end to keep your kingdom alive

Its a battle already lost
But maybe there is an upside
A reason for this tragedy....
Maybe if all of your friends are gone.
They were never meant to be aquainted
